Keto Coconut Flour Mug Cake
A quick and easy keto-friendly mug cake made with coconut flour. Ready in just 2 minutes with only 5-6g net carbs per serving. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without leaving ketosis.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tablespoons Joy Filled Eats sweetener or erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces. Lightly grease the inside with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter, sour cream, egg, sweetener, and vanilla essence to your mug. Use a fork to whisk everything together vigorously for about 30 seconds until completely smooth with no egg streaks visible.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the coconut flour and baking powder over the wet mixture. Whisk again with your fork until no lumps remain. The batter should be thick but pourable, similar to pancake batter consistency.
- Microwave: Place your mug in the center of the microwave. Cook on high power for 60 seconds first. Check the center – it should be set but still slightly moist on top. If needed, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. The center will continue cooking slightly during this time. Eat it straight from the mug or turn it out onto a plate.
